Smartphone manufacturers know that shoppers have a ton of options, so making your own offering stand out from the crowd is critical. But all too often we end up with a phone that feels like it was designed by its marketing department, with a smattering of buzz-hungry keywords that do little to impact the day-to-day user experience. Case in point: With the new G7, LG returns to the “AI” camera experience we first got to know on the V30S.

Connected security cameras seem to be popping up all over the place these days and while they're really tempting for some of us, the high cost of entry is deterring. Luckily, we can count on sales to help ease that monetary burden a bit. Canary's all-in-one 1080p indoor security camera has fallen below $100, sitting at $98.57 on both Amazon and Chewy. That's $70.43 off.

This camera features Alexa and Assistant integration, a 147° wide-angle lens, a built-in siren, a climate monitor, and motion tracking.

Phones these days have replaced many of the most commonly used portable appliances from the late 20th century. It's pretty incredible how something that's small enough to fit in your pocket has, for the most part, replaced cameras, camcorders, radios, paper maps, GPS devices, voice recorders, newspapers, credit cards — really, the list just goes on and on. However, 360-degree video cameras are not on that list, so if you aspire to shoot some quality 360-degree video, you'll need to purchase a separate device.

Last month's update to the Google Camera app included several new features, but there's a chance one of those changes may not have agreed with every user. While users were given a new option to remap the double-tap gesture to switch cameras instead of zooming in, it technically cost users the ability to disable the double-tap gesture altogether. A minor update just rolled out that restores this simple alternative.

YI has become famous for offering incredible bang for the buck, and today's promo code takes that a step up. From now until the end of the month, you can pick up a YI 4K action camera for just $131.99, $38 less than the regular price. That's a healthy discount on an already-nice price.

The YI 4K's name kind of gives it away, but it's capable of shooting 4K/30.

A new version of the Google Camera app is beginning to roll out, and there's quite a few interesting adjustments in this update. The Settings screen looks much better with a full set of icons, and there are several new additions to be found within it. Grid overlays have been moved into the Settings screen, and double-taps can now be configured with a different action. A long-awaited feature, Dirty lens warnings, can now be enabled.

Nest announced its smart doorbell, the 'Nest Hello,' back in September of last year. It has an HD night-vision camera on the front with two-way audio, so you can see who's at the door from anywhere, even on your Chromecast. The company initially said it would be available in Q1 2018, and according to the Nest Twitter account, shipments will begin on March 15.

GoPro may have popularized the action camera market, but there are plenty of competitors these days. YI came on the scene as a producer of affordable alternatives early on, but its latest release, the Discovery 4K, takes inexpensive action cams to a whole new level. The Discovery 4K has been discounted to just $47.99 with a coupon code applied at checkout.

Of course, while the Discovery 4K is a good deal for the money, it's not as fully-featured as its upmarket stablemates.
